About the Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program

The Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program (BBLP) will provide an opportunity to the leaders from various Muslim communities to train, seek guidance as well as to associate along with other people who share the same principles just like Benazir Bhutto.

The main objective behind introducing this leadership programme is to bring the interested leaders close to the network of advisers as well as influence holders.

Not only that, the Class of 1973 itself as well, who can bring a progressive change.

“The aim is to prepare people who will be assuming leadership positions in these states,” said the classmate of BB, Peter Galbraith ’73.


“It is one thing to be a political leader. However, it is another thing to be effective in government.”


The leadership program is not a stand-alone project however; it is a part of Class Achieving Change Together (ClassACT).

It is a non-profit organization which unites classmates to addresses local, national as well as international issues.

The very fiest event of this prigramme has been entitled as Leading in the Muslim World: What will Benazir Do Today? which lasted till 5th December.

The majority of Benazir’s 1973 classmates are expected to speak at the occasion including Farzana Yaqoob, a minister for social welfare as well as women’s development in Pakistan.

 “In the arc of Muslim majority nations from Lebanon to Bangladesh, women are hardly represented in government service and in politics,” the Advisory Board and Steering Committee wrote.

“It is maybe not a coincidence that this part of the world is also an incubator for extremism as well as the locus of brutal conquest of individual freedom and horrific violence, often directed at women.”

In her honor, schools, colleges as well as universities have already been name after Benazir.

This is yet another addition to her legacy.
